Practicing for art exchange

As I mentioned below, I am involved in an art exchange with some very talented artists. I considered sending each of them an illustration of one of Sophie's dog toys, but I'm not sure that is what Sharon had in mind when she invited me to join this exchange. In-between making piles and remaking the piles of stuff to get packed for Bali, I wander back into my studio (I use that word loosely) and splash the watercolors around hoping to find a direction. A sure sign of spring because irises are in the stores now. I stole from the vase upstairs.

Very pretty, Jennifer. You could be onto something here. I'm sure it beats dog toys. I went out and bought striped fabric, eggplants, mushrooms, leeks etc. for a marathon painting session tomorrow. We'll see what happens. (Fingers crossed)

I so admire your work and as far as I am concerned I can wait till you are ready to send something. I too have been dragging my feet but today finally completed my first little painting. You've got lots going on right now with your move, so relax about the exchange for now.
